About Our Team
No one can guarantee investment success, however, there are key ingredients that can increase your odds for investment success.
Dirk Calvin
A native of Tennessee, he began his investment career with Dean Witter in 1984 and soon became an investment consultant for several notable Tennessee corporate pension plans. Dirk served as co-host of the WLAC radio program Money Talk. In 1989, he co-founded Mabry-Calvin, LLC which became a registered investment adviser with the state of Tennessee in 2010 and was renamed to Sage Investment Counsel LLC in 2020. Dirk enjoys golfing and bird hunting with his son Jackson.

Jackson also served as the President of Campus Outreach, an interdenominational Christian organization, while in school. Jackson and his wife Autumn currently live in Spring Hill, TN. His hobbies include hunting, fishing, and playing golf.
John Michael Denney
I began my investing career 42 years ago in 1979 with a firm that has since been merged by Morgan Stanley.
If wisdom is born of experience, then experience is gained through trust.
I believe that investment clients need advisors that are true believers in their role as fiduciaries. These responsibilities are sacred.
Joining here with Dirk Calvin after some 35 years of working with him, first as a co-host of radio’s Money Talk, leadership roles in the Nashville Chapter of American Association of Individual Investors (AAII) and sharing investment responsibilities with joint clients.
Looking to the future, I am combining here at Sage Investment Counsel to work with younger partners and help the next generation (and the next) to better understand investing and importantly, preserve their wealth.
